I've known institutional investors who have basically purchased city blocks over a decade or two for their next "big" development project. 

I know Airbnb has a way of changing listings and even blocking listings depending on the regulations in the city/county.

Cheap quick and easy: trim trees, mulch around base of trees (mulch is $2/bag at lowes right now), remove window bars, pressure wash, add some landscaping to front flowerbeds (I typically do rocks w/ flowering plants, lots of people do mulch there too) and remove the bushes, and possibly add some landscape blocks around the front flowerbed areasIs this a flip or a rental?
